 | Yahoo lost almost half its value in the past two years. It’s questionable that Yahoo could break Google’s hold on the market if Yahoo seek other social network like Facebook and Myspace for participation in the form of equity investment or control-based consolidation. Since 90% of Yahoo holders are outsiders, Market takeover is possible if MS can obtain above 50% voting shares (control-based consolidation) through deals with institutions. |

| Yesterday, Bill Gates said that MS wouldn't raise its bid for Yahoo and he thought the bid was fair and acceptable. Since MS raised its bid for Yahoo, MS's shares went down about 13 percent. He also said that MS would invest more money in searching area to compete with Google even MS fails to merge with Yahoo!. |

| Quote: I don t think Microsoft is in a position that could bother Google on its own field. I think Microsoft wishes to have a foot in the place, to contain Google's growth, not to monopolize the market (MSN and Yahoo are far too weak for this). After all it is a sector in which Microsoft isnt well implented so it is just diversifying its products nothing else. It is an incredible price indeed for a company such as Yahoo. But by now many companies' value on the stock market is no more linked with the reality of these companies. Some economists even fear that the 2 markets become completly independent soon. What do you think about this ? (I know I m changing the subject) |

| Did you guys have trouble logging in hotmail today. It’s interesting that it happens at the point of MS bid offer to Yahoo. I think consolidation between MS and Yahoo is to avoid waste of resource –R&D. Anti-monopoly encourages more competition between MS and Google in the business line of search engine and on line ads assuming MS (#1 button-up software maker) acquires Yahoo. |
